Hello Everybody!

The time you have all been waiting for has arrived! Week 25 of #zencolouringcontest ended earlier today, and now to announce the winners!

So without further ado, let's get on with the show(case)!

In 3rd place:

@itachi24j

I picked this one because of the depth created by the shading and the patterns and shapes created by the colouring. The use of black and white to highlight certain sections is very clever and the background compliments the image nicely!

In 2nd place:

@marblely

I chose this one because of the way they divided the flame wheels into sections of 5 and flowed the colours through the areas beautifully. The medium of water colour pencils was a great choice, the shading and blurring created by using a wet brush is a very nice effect

And in 1st place:

@twodorks

I picked this one as the winner because of the soft yet vibrant colour palette. The positioning of colours and use of shading creates a lovely pattern that draw the eye into the center. The shades of the colour palette are very pleasing to the eye and the subtle animation in the background is the cherry on top!

The corresponding prize will be sent when the contest post pays out!
